President highlights message of reconciliation in pilgrimage homily

Hungarian President János Áder stressed the message of reconciliation in a homily delivered at a pilgrimage in Sumuleu Ciuc (Csíksomlyó), Romania, on Saturday.

“Peace was the central message of Bishop András Veres’s homily,” Áder told journalists after the celebration of the mass.

“We must make peace with ourselves as well as create peace within our families, communities, cities and countries. It would be welcome if this message was heard by as many people as possible,” he added.
